THRESHOLD

About the project
THRESHOLD began as an internal test. Could a complete brief go from concept to finished film with generative AI as the main production method, and still hold continuity, pacing and performance? The answer is one minute in five beats: preparation, alignment, decision, entry and the cut before contact.
The palette is steel grey with only two colours, the purple of the visor and the red of the tail lights. Some shots were blocked out in Houdini first, so the generated images kept believable vehicle motion; others started in the AI tools, where atmosphere and texture mattered more than choreography.
I worked with the d+b team as AI designer and motion graphics artist.
